PCA: Have you purchased The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim yet? If you're still undecided, here are ten reasons why the game is deserving of your hard-earned Septim gold.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
I cant stop dicking about in any dungeon that crosses my path in Skyrim. It takes me ages to get anywhere :-(
Word!
i accidentally got engaged to a male assistant! i loaded the game up again, but next playthrough i'm going to see how that pans out... he better be a good cook and like herding cattle
Brokeback Skyrim! although the 'rim' part in that title leaves a bad taste in my mouth
I plan on buying it, only reason i havent brought it a yet, fking college made me paid them back for a course i drop. What pisses me off the course only course cost $170+ and I had to pay them back almost 400 ******* dollars.
I was torn between Skyrim and Batman Arkham City (PC). Spent weeks looking at articles, previews and videos to decide which one to pre order first.
Then I saw a Skyrim screenshot of some skeletons in a cave...the cave walls looked kinda similar like the ones in Oblivion and Fallout 3. For some strange, unknown reason the cave textures in those games "offend" me/made me loose interest. Caves from other RPGs, even Torchlight, doesn't that same effect on me. Don't hate me - Skyrim is still in my wishlist...just that, those caves...
So I picked Batman AC (not really enjoying the numerous delays though).
